Steps:

Wash artichokes. Trim stems, remove outer leaves and trim top of each artichoke. Cut in half lengthwise. (Baby artichokes have no fuzzy inner choke to remove!)

In medium pot, place artichokes, flat side down. Add olive oil to cover. Add garlic, parsley, sea salt and pepper. Bring olive oil to a boil, cover pot, then reduce the heat to simmer 10 to 15 minutes. Artichokes are done when a knife can easily penetrate the lower half.

Remove herbs and garlic from pot, raise heat and fry uncovered approximately 2 minutes, turning artichokes after the first minute. When brown and crispy, remove artichokes and place on paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve.
